What Flexible Training Really Means at Pitman Training

At Pitman Training, flexibility isn’t just about convenience — it’s about offering training that fits around your life and commitments.

You’re in Control of Your Schedule

We don’t lock you into fixed class times. Instead, you choose:

  • The days and times that suit your availability
  • Whether you prefer intensive full-day sessions, evenings after work, or weekend blocks

This means your training can be structured around your lifestyle, job, or family commitments — not the other way around.

A Structured Yet Flexible Blended Learning Model

Our blended learning approach combines the freedom of learning from home with the reassurance of ongoing support.

You can:

  • Complete most of your course from home
  • Stay connected with your Learning Coach and fellow students
  • Access structured content with guidance whenever you need it

This is not just online learning on your own, it’s a supported experience designed to help you succeed.

Skills That Prepare You for the Real World

Every Pitman course is built with a practical focus. We emphasise:

  • Hands-on, real-world skills you’ll actually use
  • Learning in a safe, supportive environment
  • Encouraging growth by treating mistakes as learning opportunities

By the end of your course, you’ll be confident applying your new skills directly in the workplace, not just passing exams.

Student Testimonials

Real stories from students and graduates – see how we’ve helped transform careers and lives.

A big thank you to all the girls in the centre for all their help and support over the last year. Their guidance and reassurance has helped motivate me even more to do anything in terms of education. The Bookkeeping Diploma has been such a beneficial course in terms of modules within the course and the job prospects afterwards. The teaching methods and course books allowed me to study and learn in a way that felt right for me. As a result, I have started a new job doing what I love and know that with Pitman I can go even further. Thanks for all the support and guidance, ladies, you are all truly amazing.
